Hi Bart,

Thanks for your reply. My dad can't take anything by mouth cause anything that touches his tongue and throat really burns intensely he says so that is why he is using the gtube. Also he has most of his teeth pulled out before he underwent radiation and chemo. Right now he is taking 6 ensures per day through the tube but it is not making much of a difference in his weight. My dad has always had a fast metabolism and in this case that is not a good thing.

Right now his ENT is trying to get him in for a CT scan as fast as possible to see if surgery can be performed to remove the cancer. Will keep you all posted, thanks for the support and good luck on your weight gain Bart.
